The Midnight Birthday — A Krishna Tale of Joy, Courage & Victory

Why do we celebrate Krishna’s birthday at midnight? Why is little Krishna lovingly called Makhan Chor? And what is the story behind the exciting Dahi Handi tradition? 💙🦚

Through her warm storytelling, the children discover who Krishna was, why he is remembered for his kindness, courage and playful nature, and why his birth is celebrated with so much joy.

From Krishna’s love for makhan and his mischievous childhood adventures to Dahi Handi, midnight celebrations and the different ways Janmashtami is celebrated across India, the story helps children understand the meaning behind the festivities they see around them.

And it’s not just a story! With little activities, games and lessons woven into the book, children can learn, play and connect with the festival in their own way.
